Dish



p To all e hom it mag/Concern! l Ormea? PAUL nAYMONn SIMMONS, orifrHUNTiNs'roN, INDIANA,` 4 i Be it known that-I,PAUL RAYMOND SiM- MONS, a citizen of theUnited States, a resident of` I-luntingtonin the county `of Huntington and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Disln'iofwhich the following is a full,- clear, and exactdescription. j

This .invention relates'toy dishes for use in the serving of 'ice cream and other comestibles, and has reference'more particularly to a utensil of this kind whichcomprises a permanent holder and a removable and replaceable container fitted into the holder. y

An object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive dish for the `purpose specified, which can be cheaplyv produced in large duantities` which can be fashioned from different, suitable materials,

and which is particularly useful in restaurants, drug` stores and similar establishments. n Y

A further obiect of the invention is to provide a utensil of the class described in which the container-is securely held against displacement when the dish is in use, which permits the easy and expeditious removal and replacement of the container, and which is of artistic and ornamental nature.

A still further obiect of the invention is to provide a dish of the kind described, in which the holder is particularly adapted to receive and hold containers of fluted form.

The invention consists in the construction and combination ofparts to be more fully described hereinafter and more particularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompany-y ingr drawings forming a part of this Specification. in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding partsin all the views, and in which- Fig'ure 1 is a side elevation of an embodiment of my invention, showing' the container removed;

Fig. 2 is a transverse crosssectionshow ingr part of the base or standard broken away; and

Fig'. 3 is a side elevation of the upper part of the holder, showing a container in position.'

clearly understood that the same may be fashioned from any suitable material, but 1 Specification of Lett-ers ,fatent i Oct. 19, Abbucaafued Neffemter fiera seran 'N.`336,is4;

prefertomake the'holder of metal which can be nickelplated or otherwise desirably finished. "The 4containers are preferably of paraflined paperor-thellike and are intended 'for individual use only. In this way a thoroughly *sanitary dish isprovided for useindrugjstores and the like. `If so de sired, the dish may be constructed in larger sizes for domestic table :use 'or for other purposes. f lCertainfofVVV the details of construction formingf'part .of this inventionr may be varied in 'accordance with necessity or preference, without departing from the spirit of the invention. j

Referring more particularly to the `drawings, the holder ofthe dish has a support or standard 10 provided with ar suitable base 1l of circular form. The support may" Vbe suitably ornamented in any manner.

2. The holder has a substantially flat, circular bottom 13, and outwardly flaring` upwardly disposed, fluted sides 14;. lThe holder is secured upon the support in any suitable manner, for example, by means of a nail or pin 15, driven through the bottom of the holder into the top of the support.

The container 16 is proportioned to fi snugly into the holderfand is of similar shape and. has like, fluted sides. Preferably, the container projects a short distance above the upper edge of the holder, to facilitate the removal thereof. It will be readily understood that the luted sides of the holder and the container interlock and any turningr movement of the container when the dish is in use is thus obviated.k

Suitable fastening devices to hold the container in place are provided.l TheseV may be of any form adapted for the purpose. I have shown, for example, herewith. fastening devices at opposite sides of the holder, each consisting;l of a pin 17 inserted between the two thicknesses of the holder sides. The pin has a round head 18.v slightly bent toone side. The heads of the pins may be `disposed over the edge of the ycontainer, Vor turned to the outside to permit yits removal. f

Having thus described by invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A dish comprising a holder adapted to receive a container, and yspaced retaining members mounted toturn om the holder, said members projecting above the holder and adapted to extend over the container to hold it in position or to be turned aside to permit the removal of the container.

2. A dish comprising a holder adapted to receive a container fitting into saidV holder, and4 a member mounted to turn on the holder and extending above the side of said holder, said member having a head adapted to project over said container to hold the same in position, or yto be turned aside to permit removal of the container.

3. A dish comprising a holder having double walls and adapted. to receive a container fitting into said holder, and a member positioned between the two thicknesses of the walls of said holder, and having a head adapted to project over said container, to hold the same in position.

4. A dish, comprising in combination, a base, a holder mounted upon said base and having outwardly andV upwardly disposed, fluted sides of double thickness, said holder being adapted to receive a correspondingly formed container fitted into said holder, and a member positioned between the two thicknesses of the sides of said holder, and having a head adapted to project over said container, to hold the same in position.

5*. A dish comprising a holder having sides of double thickness and provided with means for engaging a container, adapted to t into said holder, to prevent turning movement of said container, and a member positioned between the two thicknesses of the sides of said holder, and having a head adapted to project over said container, to hold the same vin position.
